The McCluskey Boys: Adventures in an Indian Boarding School

The author has written this book for a variety of reasons. First of all, it is intended to be informative, interesting, sometimes humorous, and to demonstrate how a group of young Indian children survived the Federal Government’s Boarding School period. Although the experiences of many of these students were somewhat sad, challenging, and often times very traumatic, most found ways to adapt and survive. It should also be remembered that several of the activities, incidents and ordeals in the book were experienced by many of the kids. They were not purely exclusive to the McCluskey boys.
